Tapes

POWER-VIOLENCE HARDCORE. ANTI-CHRIST DEMONCORE or ACxDC for short aren’t your stereotypical satanic grind-violence band. This picture-disc stitches together 23 heavy hitting studio tracks on the a-side and on the b-side there are 28 never pressed to vinyl live and demo tape tracks.

NOISE/ELECTRONIC/AVANTGARDE. Long delayed colaboration between 2 harsh-noise and power-electronic projects from Breslau and Amsterdam. BERKOWITZ features a members of WE ARE IDOLS and nowadays USELESS. TAKASHI OHKAWA is a long running side-project of Extreme Martin, lead singer in such fames as MATKA TERESA, D-COMPOSE, HEADCRASH and recently PARALYZED SOCIETY. This is true d.i.y. release. This is a limited edition of a professionally duplicated tape.

HARDCORE. These tapes were previously promos for the band's 2016 tour with Turnstile, Angel Dust, Fury and Lock but are now available to the masses, showcasing 4 tracks that don't sound a thing like those bands they toured with. Instead, there are four dreary, spacey tracks taking cues from the fuzziest of fuzzy '90s bands.

THRASH/GRINDCORE. Long delayed tape that was supposed to be out in 2009 as a split 5''. Finally this see the daylight on Drop Out Records as a tape. Metal tinged brutal fast hardcore from California, well known from 2 full-length records and a bunch of splits with BLOODY PHOENIX. Against brutal grindcore from Singapore in vein of early PHOBIA. This is limited edition (100) of a professionally duplicated tape.

METAL-PUNK. BLACK TOWER from Ottawa, Canada consist of members from the CRUSADES and VISITORS. You could call them fantasy or metal-punk or the BLIND GUARDIAN of melody-punk, ha ha. Limited 4 track demo tape.

HARDCORE-PUNK. A new project from the suburban hell of New Jersey featuring a current member of NIGHT BIRDS, BLOODTYPE and PHIBES. Mainly influenced by bands like SLAPSHOT, BLUNT FORCE blends Boston '82 hardcore with U.K. '82 punk/oi. The songs are melodic yet hard and mid-paced. Includes a cover of a Boston classic.

HARDCORE. Chicago is a violent place - violence that is both immediate and implied - and BLYSTEX is a product of that violence. "nasty licks" is not a cute recording; it's not playful or fun. "nasty licks" is 6 stompers of primal, proto-hardcore beats behind guitars that sound like a bite to the windpipe. The lyrics paint Chicago as a jungle and cast scenes about predators and prey.

HARDCORE. The debut demo from CANDY is a ferocious brand of hardcore-punk that sticks out from the pack. The distorted vocals mixed with the crunchy sounding production hits you like a ton of bricks. Tape includes a digital download card.

HARDCORE. Born out of the ashes of former Scandinavian tour machine ANCHOR, a new straight-edge hardcore vessel rises: CITY KEYS (slang for bolt cutter). "tip the scale" is a taste of what's to come from this new band. Features guest appearances by members from CULT OF LUNA and DIE YOUNG. Limited edition of 100 copies.

HARDCORE. "barred life" is the 6 song cassette debut of this north-western hardcore band that has members of BONE SICKNESS in tow. There's almost an early-'80s Swedish element to the guitar playing, but shoved through the classic US hardcore blender, and then pumped full of the kind of performance-enhancing drugs that get you banned from professional competition.

HARDCORE-PUNK. First recorded output of the East Bay’s CRONADER. Described as a hardcore AGENT ORNGE, CRONADER mixes early ‘80s SoCal punk and hardcore and skate-rock to create a sound that’s guaranteed to delight your earholes. All members are veterans of the East-Bay scene featuring current/ex-members of STRUNG OUT, CONQUEST OF DEATH, ISOTOPE, ANNIHILATION TIME and more. This 4 song teaser is limited to 100 copies.

HARDCORE. "paid in full" was recorded in March 2014, and with an average band age of only 20 years old, impressive is the keyword here. While obvious influences are drawn from New York hardcore both old and new (THE ICEMEN, BACKTRACK), CROSS ME also mix things up and keep it interesting with an array of hooks and tempo changes that invite fans of thrash/crossover as well. Expect to hear more from this Midwestern powerhouse.
